redrocketier reply :

Hey masssilversrt4 me and my buddy have been fishing Milford pond for about 8 years. Maybe you've seen us in 10 foot red john boat with white seats. Not so much this year but my biggest fish to date was there. I would say he was all of five pounds but that was before we had a scale. Either way he was huge!!! Seems awfuly slimey there this year. You ever fish bad luck pond?? Great spot the avarage fish seems bigger than Milford. Lower Milford can be pretty good lots of pickrel misson to get in though.Whens the next tourney???

masssilversrt4 reply :

Hey.. just seen this post.. Milford was good when it was drained.. I went to bad luck from shore but not in the boat...

I prob have seen you there.. Let me know if you want to get out sometime.. I'll be at Cooks in FR on sat.. Not sure about Sunday yet..

And my biggest this year was from Milford as well..

TTYL.

Russ, We are not talking about ponds in Milford. There is a Milford Pond in Swansea.. If you ever want to check it out let me know.. 3 biggest fish of the year have come out of there.. Thinking of heading over there today... Throw some swimbaits for a big one..

Whent to bad luck pond on saturday, fished from 9:30 to 5:00.Nothing to exciting but we didn't get skunked at least.Between the two of us we caught 6 bass and two average size pickrel.Five of the bass ranged from 1lb 8 oz to 2 lbs the biggin of the day was 2lb 8oz.They were mostly caught on shinners I think one was one a shallow crank bait. The wind was brutal spent most of the day trying to avoid it..... better than a day at work!!!!

Guy that was with me got a 3lber about 5 min after we got there.. went into a cove and got this one.. My first MS slammer fish. She was about 3lbs. After this no other bites the rest of the day.. was quite weird..

masssilversrt4 reply :

That stinks. I was slammin them at the spot I decided to hit. It was a welcomed change!

Tin reply :

Oh snap, I didn't realize they opened Cookies back up. They shut it down for a year because of ...... :-X

Great great jig pond. Some decent smallies in there too.

First slammer fish, right on man!!

redrocketier reply :

No kidding I didn't know they closed cook pond. If you read the mass dept of fish and game, they say it was one of the most fertile ponds in the state at one time. What a shame!!! I always hope to snag a tigger muskie while im there. Anyone ever see the tigger muskie head at main bait? That was pulled out of cook.

masssilversrt4 reply :

Cook has a ton of Perch too.. I was there this summer and caught 30-40 pearch on anything from a spinnnerbait to jigs.. some were up to 2lbs..

redrocketier reply :

Anyone cath anything this weekend??? I had to flippin work on sat.

Went to the dam for a few hours looked promising with the wind.. no bites on anything.. Swimbaits/senko/minus 1.

HOIST-N-HAWGS reply :

Here's a pic of Cooks at it finest ;D

HOIST-N-HAWGS reply :

One from Cooks in the fridged March weather of 2007,just after ice out. I usually throw A black jig w/an ultra blue zoom junk. There used to be Tiger Musky in there as well, not to sure anymore, so watch out, those Musky just love to swim around and show off their new $30 swimbait lip rings. ;D Hooked into one about 8 lbs on a Zarra Spook gonig back a decade or so. Got him to the side of the boat, he jumps, lands in the boat on the bench seat, spook falls out, he flips once and over the other side into the depths he went, this all lasted about 5 seconds :'( ;D

Used to love cooks years ago,but then the fuzz made all of Tin's friends leave and it wasn't quite as exciting anymore ;D

masssilversrt4 reply :

What is that first pic Paul?? I like it there.. It's still shady but otherwise worth it.. smallies make it worth the while as well.. I heard they are going to put a gate in and clean it up as well.

Someone dumped 1000's of fish fillets in there last year.

redrocketier reply :

The fuzz made tin's freinds leave?? What was that all about?

That's one of those ponds that takes all day to fish to whole thing. Like I was saying before if I don't I always wonder.

Probably wanted to lube your Slammer

Tin reply :

MassSilver, I bet they did not see the B in Bass-Tracker on the side of your boat and came running over looking for some.

haaa good one Mike..

redrocketier reply :

Went out to blp today I got one bluegill might as well have been skunked.

My buddy got two bass and pic nothing big. Really slow water temp was 55 on the surface.I didnt get out last weekend weeds seem to be dieing off quick now!

redrocketier reply :

Went out to mp today alone got skunked!! Only fished about 2 hours.

Man I haven t fished there much since early spring. I can t belive all the weeds in places I ve never seen weeds before. places I expected to be real weedy like way down back were clear. Weird must be some weird weed cycle or something. :-?

Bearly got back in with all the wind. The jerk I fish with never charged the battery and it was really weak on the way back in. Had it wide open and had to paddel to back in.

masssilversrt4 reply :

That is why I haven't been fishing there.. way to many weeds waiting for them to die out..
